How Smart Enroll Works

We find you the lowest rate, switch you automatically, then monitor your renewal to keep you protected. Set it once, forget it forever.

Step 1

Authorize Once

2 minutes to set up

Give us permission to manage your electricity rate. You'll need your ZIP code and Illuminating Company account number.

This Letter of Authorization (LOA) allows our enrollment partner, Enroll Power, to handle your electricity rate on your behalf - nothing else.

Step 2

First Switch

Typically 2–3 business days

We find the lowest available rate right now and switch you to that supplier. Your new rate typically starts at your next meter read (timing can vary by utility and supplier).

You'll be on this contract (typically 12 months) with that supplier.

Step 3

Daily Monitoring

While your contract runs

Every day, we check market rates and track your contract expiration date.

60 days before your contract ends, we evaluate your renewal options.

Step 4

Smart Renewal Management

When your contract expires

We check if your current supplier's renewal rate is competitive. We only switch you if:

  • Your renewal rate is significantly higher (35%+) than alternatives, AND
  • The alternative rate beats the utility's price to compare (12-month average)

Otherwise, we renew you with your current supplier to avoid unnecessary switching. If no competitive supplier rates exist, we return you to your utility default rate instead of an expensive holdover.

Step 5

Forever Protection

This cycle repeats

We manage every renewal using the same conservative approach - keeping you with suppliers when rates are good, switching when they're not.

Zero action required from you.

You're in Control

Cancel Anytime
